It is imho wrong to call it languages in developing regions, it is not
that simple and the article cited is about Wikipedia in its African

Actually, the article cited doesnt mention WiktionaryZ, which was the bulk
of your email. I am talking in principle, when we refer to projects that need a
nudge, let's not just focus on African languages because it happens to be in
vogue. There are plenty of other important languages out there that also
need a gentle push so that they can reach their full potential.
Unfortunately the people who are likely to know these languages are
unlikely to want to contribute to Wikipedia, because they'd probably see
it as a waste of time/doomed to fail/whatever. Still, I can ask people...
